Junija Galejeva 3y4s6
Junija Galejeva is an abstract and semi-abstract painter from Lithuania. With a background in musicology, she approaches art with a musician’s mindset, applying melodic movement and improvisation to her creations. Working with oils and acrylics on canvas, she explores color nuances and textures to craft emotive, rhythmic compositions. Intuitive pulsions lead her hand and brush into repetitive pattern-like compositions that expand on the canvas, opening up the viewer’s field of vision. The touch is soft and meditative or vigorous and dynamic, according to Junija’s emotional inclinations. Either way, the artist welcomes us unreservedly into the intimacy of her psychological sphere, prompting a wave of instinctive associative responses.
Junija’s abstract paintings are a musical expression in visual form. The harmonious and delicate palette has a soothing contemplative aura that refreshes the senses. There is an emotional depth to the work which encourages active engagement with the viewer.
She currently resides in Vilnius, where she works as an editor for the national radio program LRT Klasika and as a lecturer on the history of baroque opera at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
Born in Siberia (Krasnokamensk, Zabaykalsky Krai), Junija grew up in Visaginas, a small town in north-eastern Lithuania, where she attended secondary and music schools. At age 16, she went to Vilnius to study theory and history of music at the J. Tallat-Kelpša Conservatory. After graduating, she completed studies in musicology at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, earning her master's degree in 1999. She studied painting, drawing, graphic arts, and art history at the Savickas Art School from 2008 to 2010, and then for three years at Kunigunda's Dineikaitė's painting studio "Baltas kubas."
Since graduating, the artist has participated in more than 60 group and solo exhibitions worldwide from Miami to Tokyo.

SOUL-Tsukumogami 386i5h
MAG ART GALLERY 2.10.16 Higashitenma Kitaku, Osaka Japan ZIP 5300044
The Japanese word "tsukumogami" (付喪神) refers to a specific concept in Japanese mythology and culture: literally translated, "tsukumogami" means "spirit hidden in objects." This term refers to inanimate objects that, after a certain time, around a hundred years, transform into spirits. A hundred years is enough for an object to acquire a soul, absorbing the ing time and the wisdom that comes with it. Belief holds that objects bring good fortune to those who care for them, and misfortune to those who mistreat them, so over time objects can acquire a grateful and benevolent soul or a vengeful and cursed one. This mythological concept emphasizes that the importance of things does not depend on their economic value, but rather on the relationship and feelings of those who have used them for a long time. The legend of "tsukumogami" reflects the Japanese belief that objects possess an intrinsic soul or spirit and must be treated with respect and care. It is believed that this belief originated from Shinto religion, which attributes a soul not only to living beings but also to natural elements and objects. The figure of "tsukumogami" has deeply influenced Japanese culture, appearing in folktales, works of art, theater, and even in modern manga and anime."SOUL-Tsukumogami" aims to be a starting point for a careful reflection on the relationship between humans and the things that surround them. Art itself is a "thing" - an "object" that possesses a soul and expresses it to the viewer. The exhibition will give artists the opportunity to express themselves on the concept of spirituality and the connection that exists between them and their works. - Vanessa Viti.
The exhibition “SOUL-Tsukumogami” is a profound tribute to Japanese culture, specifically to the concept of “tsukumogami”, which is the idea that inanimate objects can acquire a soul after surviving a century of existence. This notion reflects the belief that the objects around us are not mere tools of daily utility but bearers of an intrinsic life, similar to that of works of art that hold deep and unique meanings. The exhibition explores the role of art and artists in imparting value and knowledge through creation, promoting a cultural exchange that invites broad reflections. The question that arises is: what value do we attribute to the objects that populate our daily lives? The care of these objects requires sustained commitment, attention, and constant dedication; however, how many people are truly willing to invest such resources? The artists participating in this exhibition have brilliantly responded to these questions, creating works that stimulate personal and collective reflection. Their creations are invitations to pause, even briefly, for a moment of contemplation and silence, allowing us to connect with ourselves, with the surrounding environment, and with the innermost essence of the things we observe and perceive. The exhibition “SOUL-Tsukumogami" celebrates not only art but also the secret life of everyday objects, offering spaces for pure contemplation and reflection. The presented works, created by carefully selected artists, use their unique visual language to offer the audience special visions and profound inspirations, inviting prolonged reflection on the uniqueness and intrinsic meaning of things that are often taken for granted. - Giulia Zanesi
HAZE, group exhibition 4q6vx
Galleria Tilde, Via Giuseppe Pipitone Federico, 48, Palermas, Palermo provincija, Italy
A term that evokes fog, both as an atmospheric condition and as a metaphor for an enveloping and elusive emotional state. In the artistic realm, Haze represents not only a blurred vision of the world but also a mental condition where thoughts and emotions remain concealed, hidden within the mind and invisible to others. This "fog" becomes a powerful expressive medium, particularly suited to abstract styles, where contours dissolve, and reality is transfigured into rarefied and indistinct forms. From a psychological perspective, Haze becomes a representation of a perceptual alteration that obscures the clarity of thoughts and emotions. It is the state where the unconscious takes over, where dreams, memories, and repressed desires emerge inambiguous and undefinable forms. In this sense, art that explores Haze becomes a journey into the depths of the mind, a symbolic representation of what lies hidden beneath the surface of consciousness. Furthermore, adopting the multidisciplinary approach that characterizes our curatorial projects, Haze evokes the indeterminacy of being, the difficulty of grasping the essence of things and our very existence. It evokes the sublime, that feeling of awe mixed with terror in the face of the unknown and the incomprehensible. Haze becomes a metaphor for the human condition, trapped between what is visible and what remains beyond our understanding, between the known and the unknown.
It is a symbol of the "unspoken," of what is not openly expressed but still carries a strong presence. In the world of human communication, much is left unsaid: unconfessed desires, hidden thoughts, unshared emotions. The art that explores this aspect of "fog" focuses on absence as a form of presence, using emptiness, silence, and pauses to evoke meanings that go beyond what is visible. Haze is, therefore, a way of conceiving art as an experience that transcends the boundaries of form and meaning, creating a bridge between different worlds and uniting visions and perceptions in a universal embrace. This "fog" breaks down geographical and cultural boundaries, representing a shared and common experience that invites the viewer to reflect on their way of seeing and interpreting the world.
